(2) Freightliner Class 66 no. 66581 "Sophie" propels the 4S12 (Q) 03.35 Drax Power Station to Ravenstruther empty coal services, made up of HHA hoppers. That's quite a tight radius, even allowing for the long lens view. A lone crippled HAA 4-wheel coal hopper stands in the siding. I saw the return loaded service later in the day at Abington.

66581 has since joined the GBRf fleet as 66741 "Swanage Railway"
